Chiquinho scored on Sunday the goal that may well settle the title race in Olympiakos\u2019 favor, as his 90th minute strike won the Reds the derby against AEK and opened a gap of five points at the top, one week before the end of the Super League\u2019s regular season.<\/p>\n
As of this season, the title playoffs involve only the top four teams, meaning that the round-robin post-season mini tournament will only include six rounds of games, instead of 10 as was the case up to last year.<\/p>\n
In any case Olympiakos has clinched the top spot for the regular season with its 1-0 win at Nea Filadelfia. The Reds were the most threatening team, four days after thrashing AEK 6-0 for the Greek Cup at home, but waited until the 90th minute to score: Bruno Onyemaechi sprinted down the left flank of Olympiakos and fed Chiquinho in the box who was practically not challenged at all by the AEK defenders.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not AEK,\u201d chanted the home fans after the goal, unhappy with yet another loss by Olympiakos, the first one at home.<\/p>\n
Third-placed Panathinaikos returned to victories with a 2-0 result against Panetolikos in Athens on Saturday, goals coming from Karol Swiderski and Azzedine Ounahi.<\/p>\n
PAOK has sealed its entry in the playoffs with its 2-0 home win over Asteras Tripolis. It had Taison and Mbwana Samatta to thank for their goals.<\/p>\n
Aris will have to fight it out for a spot in Europe through the 5-8 playoffs (unless OFI or Asteras win the Cup) after drawing 1-1 with Volos away.<\/p>\n
In other weekend games, Atromitos won 2-1 at Levadiakos, OFI confirmed its good form beating bottom team Lamia 3-0 in Iraklio, and Panserraikos defeated Kallithea 2-1 in Serres.<\/p>\n
Olympiakos has 57 points from 25 games, AEK stayed on 52, Panathinaikos reached 49, PAOK climbed to 46, Aris is on 41 and OFI follows with 36.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
